# $Id:

REMARKS:

Starting with version 0.5.0, qingy should work on NTPL enabled systems
again, given that you use a kernel newer than 2.6.7 (2.6.7 will _not_
work).

POST-INSTALL:

(quoting http://qingy.sourceforge.net/manual.php):

You also have to modify your /etc/inittab file. You should find in it a
section that goes like this: 

 # TERMINALS
 c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux
 c2:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux
 c3:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux
 c4:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty4 linux
 c5:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux
 c6:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux
  
 and modify it as follows: 

 # TERMINALS
 c1:12345:respawn:/usr/sbin/qingy tty1
 c2:12345:respawn:/usr/sbin/qingy tty2
 c3:12345:respawn:/usr/sbin/qingy tty3
 c4:12345:respawn:/usr/sbin/qingy tty4
 c5:12345:respawn:/usr/sbin/qingy tty5
 c6:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux
  
 After that you can either reboot your system or use the following
commands (as root): 
 init Q
 killall agetty
 where agetty is the name of your previous *getty. After this, either
logout or change terminal to see qingy in all it's glory! 

 I suggest you leave at least one terminal with your old *getty, so that
in case of problems or misconfiguration (remember that qingy is beta
software, so there may well be some bugs) you have at least one surely
working terminal.
